choir sang the '‘Immanuel” song, rem-
iniscent of Ham-Ramsay days, the ef-
fect was thrilling. The anthem for
the morning, Kipling’s “Lord God of
Hosts, Be With Us Yet,” was exceed-
ingly well rendered, while the offer-
tory for the evening service, Tosti’s
“Goodbye,” flute and clarinet duet,
rendered by Theo. Yarbrough and
Bennett Smith, with Miss Georgia
Crosthwait at the piano, was an exqui-
site rendition which would have done
credit to professionals.
Quite a number of strangers were
among the audience and a sprinkling
of soldiers and aviators from the
camps and fields near Fort Worth.
Altogether the laymen have cause to
congratulate themselves and the
church upon such a notable occasion,
and the announcement from the pas-
tor, Rev. T. S. Barcus, that the enlist-
ment campaign would continue
through the month and terminate with
a grand musical cantata on Easter
Sunday afforded much pleasurable an-
ticipation to the large audience which
attended the day’s services.—A. G. D.
PURELY PERSONAL
City Marshal Brown, through the
assistance of Mr. Like, who lives near
the Pythian Home, took possession of
three Bohemian children Sunday that
had run away from Mrs. I. Z. T. Mor;
ris’ orphanage in Fort Worth, several
days before.

The last day in the city-wide Goto-
church drive was the best of the en-
tire campaign, according to reports
from the several churches. Special
efforts made Saturday and the week
preceding had good effect. Practical-
ly all the churches had large crowds.
The First Methodist made an extra
large gain, showing a decided increase
in attendance over the preceding Sun-
day. Some of the churches in the
campaign have found that good music
programs are very effective in con-
nection with good preaching, in at-
tracting large crowdws.
He attendance reported to the Her-
ald follows:

ed in the territory involved, in number
of men engaged, in the money cost
entailed and especially in the funda-
mental question involved, which it,
shall might dominate not merely a
part of the world, but the whole
world; or shall right dominate it?
"At as critical a time, this question
presents itself to us and will not be
refused an answer: ‘What should we
do?’ Time forbids any answer with
reference to the community, the state
and the church and confines us to a
partial answer with reference, to the
individual:
“1. In this time of crisis, then, we
must support the state. This is no
time for failure in the duties of citi-
zenship. This is no time for disobe-
dience to the laws of the land. This
is no time for even partisan or sel-
fish criticism. Believing as we do in
the righteousness of our cause, we
must uphold the state to our utmost
in defense of the cause.
C. M. Tandy was a passenger to Fort
Worth this morning.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Roberts went to
Fort Worth this morning.
Miss Lillie Fleming left this morn-
ing for Denton to enter college.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sweatt of Mexia,
are visiting relatives in Weatherford.
Mrs. J. B. Lucius and Miss Ethel
Jones went to Fort Worth today.
H. C. Shropshire is attending dis-
trict court at Palo Pinto today.
Mr. and Mrs. Hal H. Cherry were
passengers to Fort Worth this morn-
ing.
Miss Ethel Evans returned to Den-
ton this morning to re-enter the State
Normal College.
Mrs. L. V. Harcourt and little daugh-
ter have returned from Tyler, where
they visited relatives.
Rev. E .S. Fitzgerald, who has been
ill for some time, is up again and was
out on the street today.
B. F. Dyer is able to be at his place
of business today after being laid up
with the grip for several days.
The children were Al-
bina, Joseph and Millie Votaek, aged
11, 9 and 7 years, respectively, and
had been placed in the home by
friends or relatives at Taylor, and it
was their intention to return to Tay-
lor when they left Fort Worth, but
not being acquainted with the country
they took a western instead of a south-
ern course. They went to Mr. Luke’s
house for something to eat about 2
o’clock Sunday afternoon, but they
could not speak English and it was
known. It was then that City Mar-
shal Brown was notified about the
children and going to the Luke home
he took the runaways to Frank Babek,
who was able to interpret their story.
They spent Saturday night under a
culvert on the railroad, being out in
ail the rain.
Marsha] Brown notified Mrs. Morris
about the children and received in-
structions to hold them until she could
send for them. The children gave no
reason for leaving the orphanage, oth-
er than they wanted to go back to
their old home where they knew the
people and had friends.
Melodists Have Notable Day.
Sunday Abeing the last day in the
Go-to-ChurciK.campaign, the lay com-
mjtte of the^rsf Methodist church
had arranged foil special services and
special musical prtjgram, which, with
due announcement Vy the publicity
committee, drew crowed houses both
morning and evening. \
Rev. J. E. Crawford ofNWaco, con-
ference secretary for Cenfral Texas
confercence, was the speaker for the
day, and gave two earnest sermons
which held the attention of the great
congregation.
We must
give our money freely when the state
! calls for it.
“2. We must maintain our schools.
Neither state nor church schools must
i be permitted to languish while the
war continues. For when the war is
over we shall have great need of
schools fully equipped for a larger
work of training than has ever been
done.
"3. We must see to it that our land
yields its utmost increase. A great
multitude must be fed while the con-
flict rages and for a time after it is
over.
"4. We must support the church.
The state can not dispense with the
work and influence of the church
while the war is on nor afterwards.
It needs this work and influence on
the battlefield as well as behind the
lines. We must support the church
by our money freely given and by our
activity under its direction.
"5. In conclusion: We must walk
close with God. This is no time for
irreligion. This is no time for God-
less living. This is a tme for drawing
near to God. We must draw near to
Him by prayer, by the devotional use
of His Word and by service of men
in His name. These things we will
do, if we, like the men of Issachar,
are men and women who have under- ■
standing of the times to know what
we ought to do."

The Camp Travis hostess house is
the boal of a steadv stream of moth.
Rev. C. L. Altfather, pastor of the
College Avenue Presbyterian church,
Fort Worth, visited with the First
Presbyterian church here Sunday,
preaching at both the morning and
evening hours. His discourse in the
morning on the subject of "Knowing
the imes,” was taken from I Chron.
12:32, first clause. It was a discourse
full of truth and sound logic, one
which deals wiht every person. Be-
His morning topic was
an appeal for msisions, while the text
for the evening was on tithing, both
of which proved most convincing and
Illuminating to his hearers.

Princess Today.
Wm. S. Hart, in “Wolves of the
Rail,” performs a feat that eclipses
any “thriller” heretofore seen on the
screen. To prevent a locomotive from
crashing into a train loaded with sol-
diers he gallops madly along the on-
rushing engine, swings himself into
the engine cab, throws the reverse
lever and brings the locomotive to a
standstill. In making this scene Hart
was compelled to do without the usual
rehearsals, and to ride a horse that
was new to motion picture work and
“engine-shy.”

Issachar who came to David at Heb-

that had understanding

they were thoughtful
men, far-seeing men, they saw clearly
what course Israel -ought to follow.
They were therefore of great value to
David, for they greatly increased his
strength.
"It is a great thing for an individ-
ual in any time of crisis to see clearly
the meaning of the facts of life that
confront him and to know how to con-
form himself to their demands. It is
a great thing for a community to un-
derstand the conditions that it faces
and how to conduct its affairs with
reference to them. It is a great thing
for a nation to have many citizens as
well as leaders who have understand-
ing of the times to know what the
nation ought to do. It is a great thing
for a church to see aright the mean-
ing of its situation and what right
adjustment of itself to it requires.
“Let me here digress from the main
line of thought to have a short heart
to heart talk with the members of
this church. It is of the utmost im-
portance that you, in your pastorless
condition, pray earnestly that your
officers and yourselves be given un-
